Frequently Asked Questions

For Quincy itself, calling in the morning often gets you same-day delivery. The Adams County villages are usually same-day or next-day depending on that day's route, and Hannibal, Missouri, is typically next-day. Booking a day or two ahead gives you the most flexibility on your delivery window.

Your address, what kind of project it is (cleanout, roofing tear-off, construction debris, yard waste, and so on), a rough sense of how much material you have, and where on your property the container will sit. That's usually enough for a flat quote over the phone.

Most residential rentals run about 7 to 10 days, with extensions available if your project runs long. Tell us your expected timeline when you book so it's part of the quote instead of an add-on fee later.

Yes, as long as you give us reasonable notice. Call the yard directly and we'll move your slot if the schedule allows it. This comes up often around weather delays and construction schedule changes.

If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or private property, no permit is needed. If it needs to sit in the street or public right-of-way, City of Quincy municipal code section 91.172 covers dumpster placement there and requires that it be positioned so it doesn't create a hazard to the public. Call us and we'll walk through where your container can go.

Rules vary by village, and most of the smaller Adams County communities don't have the same kind of formal code section Quincy does. If your dumpster needs to sit anywhere other than your own driveway or yard, check with your local village office, and we're happy to help you think through placement when you book.

Not if it's placed correctly. We use protective boards under the container's rails on asphalt, pavers, and older concrete, and we ask about your surface and slope before delivery day so the driver knows what to expect.

Usually, yes, especially at rural properties outside Quincy. Tell us about the surface when you book so we can plan for it and avoid ruts or damage.

Household junk, furniture, construction and demolition debris, roofing material, yard waste, and most general cleanout material are fine. If you're not sure about something specific, ask when you book.

Hazardous materials, chemicals, tires, batteries, paint, and certain electronics generally aren't allowed. We cover the full list of what's allowed and what isn't in more detail on our blog, but when in doubt, just ask us before you throw it in.

Usually, yes, for most residential and general cleanout jobs. Heavy debris like concrete or dirt sometimes needs its own container or a size adjustment because of weight limits, so mention it when you book.
